    High Tide Gilbert never disappoints. We are from Long Island so we are intrinsically Blue Point Oyster snobs. We can't help it. You really need to go some distance to satisfy us and High Tide always makes it there. The oysters are fresh, sweet and opened correctly. Their mignonette is not my style but it's still good and I used it all. My bride of 52 years ordered the seared scallops and went through it all without a word. Now THAT'S an accomplishment. Speaking of seared, I had the Ahi Tuna. A delicious, melt-in-your-mouth offering. I didn't do much talking either until it was done. Our server Jen was on the money and had our order coming out like clock work. We washed down our food with a glass of Pinot Grigio at Jen's recommendation. I forget the label but it was smooth and didn't overpower the meal. The service here is always great. If you're picky about seating, I recommend that you make the reservations as early as you can. Enjoy!

    The food was alright but not as good as on our last visit. My wife's fish was burnt, and my dish arrived 10 minutes after everyone had received theirs. My daughter-in-law requested her dish not cooked in butter, yet it came out floating in butter. Most likely, this will be our last visit.

    One of my favorite places but disappointed tonight. We had six at our table. Three found the food to be cold and a part of it soggy on the bottom. I know in particular that the French Fries were all cold. The clod slaw was dry. So unlike this place. The service was trying but inadequate at best. Long periods with no service. Then times when she really tried hard. My guess is that they had a shortage of staff tonight.

    The oysters on the half shell and the halibut sandwich were delicious. Super fresh seafood, perfectly prepared. Nice selection of bourbon too. Excellent wait staff.

    Always a great experience at High Tide and this time was no different. Excellent service & delicious food. The Lobster Bisque is the best here in AZ. Dined with friends visiting from Atlanta and they couldn't believe we've got top-notch seafood in the middle of the desert.

    We have been there before, but tonight we also had a great waiter - Danny. The food as excellent as always. It also seemed that it cost us less this time. Overall we had an awesome experience. Your mileage may vary, but I recommend High Tide with honors.

    We had reservations at 6 o'clock. Had instructions not to be more than 10 minutes late or could lose Our seat but however had to wait for 20 minutes to be seated. Our server was terrible. Had to ask for her twice. My husband ordered a drink that he has been ordering for 30 years came back wrong twice. Then the manager came over then explained to us how to order a drink there that nowadays things are made differently. In my opinion if you change a drink then you change the name as well. The ahe was Overcooked. The enchiladas Del Mar was dry. By the time she checked on us we were done eating.
